I do. I have no problems telling people how much I weigh. I figure as long as the number is going down it's something to be proud of lol.

Sometimes I want to just so they can understand the hard work Im putting in. Once my friend asked me. I asked her how much much she thought I weighed. She said 160!!! I told her she didn't need to do that, she didn't need to say something that would try to make me feel better (although I admit I never should have asked, because really, who wants to tell their friends they look like they weight over 200 lbs.) When I told her my real weight she said she didn't believe it and that it didn't show. PFFT. That just gets me more annoyed because it DOES. so, therefore normally, I don't.

I have no problem giving pant sizes though.

I tell when asked. Mostly because I am selfish. I love to see the shocked look on their faces when I tell them I have lost 48 lbs so far and have 64 more lbs to go. I also like seeing the shock when I tell them what size I wore and what size I am in now. I am evil.. hahahaha

They tell me that I will be too skinny if I lose an additional 64 lbs more, but then I tell them I started out at 262 lbs and want to end up at 150 lbs. They looked shocked again, and tell me that I didn't look, nor do I look, like I weigh that much. One person commented that I carried my weight well... carried my weight well???? One even said I didn't walk like I was a fat person.

So, how does a fat person walk? Dunno.

This doesn't embarrass me, in fact - it actually keeps me on track for myself.

The only people who know my weight are the ladies at weight watchers, my Mom, and my besfriend! hehe

No way!! My hubby doesn't even know how much I weigh! Just the WW ladies and me.

No! No one has asked If pressed, I'd probably lie by at least 40 pounds

I am really surprised when people actually ask my weight; that has only happened once. She wanted to know where I started and how far I'd come. I don't mind volunteering the information if it is going to influence somebody in a good way.

I tell my weight now, 30 weeks ago I didnt even dream of telling anyone. I was embarrased to weigh so much. I am now proud of how far I have came and tell those im close too only if they ask.

I don't tell and haven't been asked. If anyone rude enough did ask, though, I'd ask them, "Why do you want to know?" in an effort to embarrass them.

About the walk - a lot of overweight people move their bodies side-to-side as they walk, instead of up and down.

Since I am just starting I don't want to tell anyone, but when I get nearing my goal weight then I will be more than happy to share my success

No one has ever asked-thankfully! But I would just tell them None-ya, None-ya business.
But I feel like I can share it here.

Thanks Jane.. I guess I never paid attention to how people walk unless they have a very prounouced limp or are frail and need help with something.

The only person who has ever asked me is my sister. And the folks at the DMV I guess.

I did lie to the DMV people earlier in the year, by about 20lbs. I was so close to not being in the 200's I just didn't have the heart to make it official in any way... I am finally an accurate reflection of DMV records now

Otherwise if someone asks me and they have a legitimate reason for wanting to know, I'd tell them. I'm pretty proud of how far I've come anyway. I wouldn't go shouting it from the rooftops but if asked....

I'm not about to get it tattooed on me, but if someone asked I'd tell. I don't want my weight to feel like a shameful secret. Because, it's not a shameful secret. It's like age. (But I shouldn't get started on why many think it so horrible to be a little older and a little wiser ... it's not.)
